Staying Awake Lyrics by Skylar Spence

2015

Like April passing with no rain
I guess I haven't been the same these days
The ghost of who I used to be
Is haunting me but I don't mind at all
He said that he'd be leaving in the fall
I keep begging him to stay
I know he'll have to break away one of these days
I lose myself in photographs and memories I'll never recreate
I know where I went wrong but it's too late
I've been staying awake
And you've been sleeping around
There's something missing and it's been getting you down
I've made my mistakes
I've got my feet on the ground
I can't help like feeling like a king without a crown
The world is so deceiving, I'm having trouble believing that I'm
Gone, gone, gone
I try to sit back and unwind
Michael's telling me to get off of my mind
But words are only words that bend and break
As bitter as gall, as sweet as cake
I take another bite and leave the rest to Jake
The trees are dancing in the park
I'll be fine if I make it home before it gets dark
'Cuz mom and dad won't be too mad
They're just worried that my mind is on the blink
I try to say they're wrong but I can't think
I'm feeling static and grey
Now I'm moving to town
I miss my friends and it's been getting me down
And I've been staying awake
I heard you're sleeping around
There's something missing and I don't think you found
I've made my mistakes (made my mistakes)
I've got my feet on the ground (feet on the ground)
But I can't help feeling like a king without a crown
Take it slow
Time is moving at the third-story window
I'm might wake to see the dawn
Home is home
But anywhere is better than being alone
I don't know where I belong
The world is so deceiving, I'm having trouble believing that I'm
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
